Also, Ubuntu sucks my balls. 10.10 keeps crashing RANDOMLY, and displaying an error message that I've found out actually has NOTHING to do with why it's crashing. I think it's time to switch to another distro, I can't take much more of Ubuntu's bullshit

DocScrutinizer, uhm, then I would guess it's something causing the watchdog to trigger. I also wouldn't put much effort into figuring out why until you figure out that either is or isn't the direct cause of the reboots

Engadget are a bunch of raging idiot lunatics. When reviewing the Nexus S and Android 2.3, they said this about copy and paste in Android 2.3 - "Funnily enough, a little cursor appears when you start selecting -- a holdover from Linux?"

johnx - no? I don't agree with it in it's current form, and I wouldn't agree with it like that either. The cursor that appears in Android when you copy and paste obviously has NOTHING to do with and is certainly not any "holdover" from the Linux the kernel or any GNU userspace

luke-jr: can't explain it but your whatcelltower cause my phone to always want to connect to a network ... better yet: when its connected to a network it does not ask it but when the programm seems to be finished even it will try to reconnect to networks after my network connection is broken

johnx, I'm sure luke-jr would dispute that Gentoo is usable day-to-day. SHR nearly is with a couple of more things to be done to it. MeeGo, as soon as power management is added I expect the 1.2 release to be *OK*

DocScrutinizer: for example - Android's Linux kernel does this, it is also the official Ubuntu process, the fact that they also merge things back upstream is irrelevant to the syncing process of Ubuntu

lardman: as mentioned above, uBoot is plumbed to head of kernel partition in NAND. So you need to somehow create a image file consisting of 1)uBoot, and 2)your preferred kernel, and flash that. On uBoot howto/faq this process should be described

yeah, you need to keep IR excessive radiation away from device. probably a good idea to place it inside a paper bag or box. OR simply place it into the air coming from your PC's fan, that's usually not too hot, and if you got a power monster it's still warm enough and for sure has no IR radiation

hmm.. just had a look at another package.. most probably i had a very big misunderstanding of how things should work and some robust mechanism in the autobuilder kept my pervious packages from failing in that way

i guess ugt is Universal Greeting Time. Created in #mipslinux, it is a rule that states that whenever somebody enters an IRC channel it is always morning, and it is always late when the person leaves. The local time of any other people in the channel, including the greeter, is irrelevant. http://www.total-knowledge.com/~ilya/mips/ugt.html

lcuk: just for the case anyone is having a similar issue: i think the problem was not related to the changelog being "one liners" - i.e. only containing the changes for the particular version - but was caused by me not updating the time and date fields in the changelog.
